Shaq and Kobe had yet another fight, and I keep finding myself asking one question: how can this help the Rockets? I know that Shaq and Kobe fight a lot, its what we expect out of married couples, but is this fight the "last"? Anyone who watched the playoffs last year knew there was tension between the two, but does that mean this dynamic duo is done? The way I see it, with Kobe's inpending trial and his dictaition of fighting words to the media, If I was Phil Jackson I'd like to have a more stable guard, maybe at the ranks of Cuttino Mobley perhaps? I'm sorry to say, the lakers have an impressive team this year, and I feel like Kobe no longer fits with that mix. My question is: do we see Kobe Bryant as Lakers scraps or an impressive young superstar that needs to rebuild. Obviously this is all pure speculation, and a lot of you might find it to be trivial, but i thought it would be a good topic for my first post.

gotta give him credit for two things. 1) Love the moniker.... 2) Inventive topic title other than that... SJC is totally correct....there are already threads devoted to this in existence...no need to start another

MLC1MGC2ALC3, You are the worst arm chair GM on this BBS, by far. lol I am quite certain that the Lakers can do much better than EG, Cato and Cat for Kobe.
So was codell. I love it how everytime any player from any team becomes unhappy, people try to angle it into a "can (insert name here) end up a Rocket?" thread....or 5.
